Consider a fission reaction where a Uranium-235 nucleus absorbs
a neutron and then splits to Strontium, Xenon, and some neutrons.
If the strontium nucleus has a mass number of 89 and the Xenon
nucleus has a mass number of 144, how much energy is released in a
single reaction? Use the attached table for the atomic masses of
the nuclei. Give your answer in MeV and with 4 significant figures.
(Hint: Balance the reaction first).
